She had been caught with a weakness when planning the kidnapping before. When the other party learned that she was going to deal with Xu Qingqing, they even offered to help voluntarily. Then they sent someone who claimed they could help her get rid of Xu Qingqing.
But what happened? That person did drive into her, but only left Xu Qingqing with minor injuries. What was the use of that? Was this a joke?
After dismissing that person, Gu Anrou called the mysterious man back.
The man's lazy and deep voice sounded: "Miss Gu, what can I do for you?"
"You said you would send someone to help me deal with Xu Qingqing. Who did you find? Why did he only leave Xu Qingqing with minor injuries? What should we do now? Problems keep cropping up one after another, and we still haven't dealt a devastating blow to Xu Qingqing. Brother Chuanbai will surely suspect me."
The man laughed: "Don't worry, Miss Gu. Since I've made these arrangements, I won't let the matter involve you. Even if Lu Chuanbai wants to investigate, I'll arrange some scapegoats. I'll definitely ensure your safety, Miss Gu."
"Oh, right, Miss Gu. Let's talk about some serious business. My goods will arrive next week. Then I'll have to trouble Miss Gu to arrange some discreet people to check the goods safely and then auction them off at the most appropriate price. I'll have to rely on you for all this, Miss Gu."
After ending the call, Gu Anrou angrily smashed a bunch of things. This man was so careless when helping her, but when it came to asking her to do things for him, he arranged everything in great detail.
But unfortunately, Gu Anrou was helpless. The other party was in the dark while she was in the open. All her weaknesses were in the other party's hands.
Gu Anrou faintly felt that she was getting deeper and deeper into this mess, but her eagerness to take revenge on Xu Qingqing was so strong that she couldn't give up this helper.
At this time, the servant in the house came over with a beaming face: "Miss, Mr. Lu Chuanbai is here. He said he wants to see you."
Gu Anrou immediately put on a shy look on her face. She quickly tidied up her appearance and nervously looked at the servant: "How do I look, Aunt Li? Am I okay? I didn't make a fool of myself, did I? I was just in a bad mood, so I smashed a few things."
Aunt Li had served in the Gu family for many years and naturally knew Gu Anrou's temper. She smiled and comforted her: "Our Miss Gu has her hair neatly done. Hurry up and go see Mr. Lu Chuanbai. Don't keep him waiting."
"Okay." Gu Anrou replied and quickened her pace downstairs.
"Brother Chuanbai, why did you think of coming to see me? I heard that Miss Xu was hospitalized. How serious is her injury?"
"It's a pity that I know Miss Xu doesn't like me. Otherwise, I would definitely go and visit her."
Gu Anrou said this in a deliberately gentle and generous manner and waved her hand to ask the servant to prepare tea.
Lu Chuanbai said with a cold face: "No need. You seem to get the news about Miss Xu very quickly. She just got hospitalized, and you already know about it."
"An uninformed person might think that you arranged for her to be hit."
When Lu Chuanbai said this, his eyes were fixed on Gu Anrou. She was panicked inside, but she tried her best to maintain her composure on the surface.
"Brother Chuanbai, what are you talking about? Although I've been a bit spoiled and willful on weekdays, I know what I can and can't do. Deliberately hurting someone is against the law."
"Brother Chuanbai, did Xu Qingqing say something to you? She wrongly accused me of kidnapping her last time. Now that she's been hit by a car, she's still causing trouble for me."
"Brother Chuanbai, although I have a bit of a temper, I do things directly. On the contrary, Miss Xu, who always seems gentle and generous, seems to be hiding a lot."
"She doesn't directly show her hostility towards me, but everything she does seems to be targeting me. Otherwise, why would you suspect me, Brother Chuanbai?"
Gu Anrou said this pretending to be pitiful, constantly trying to smear Xu Qingqing.
She turned her rudeness and disrespect into being straightforward and innocent, showing no pretense in front of Lu Chuanbai.
Lu Chuanbai quietly watched her act without any change in his emotions.
"Gu Anrou, I also hope that you didn't do this. I'll send someone to investigate these two incidents where Miss Xu was injured. I hope you won't let me down."
"Moreover, no matter if you have any hostility towards Miss Xu, if you want to take revenge, you can come at me. Don't do anything to hurt Miss Xu. Otherwise, once I find out, I won't forgive you."
"I've always remembered your kindness from five years ago, but I've also tolerated you a lot in these five years. Miss Gu, a person's patience will run out."
"You've grown up. You're no longer the innocent girl you used to be. The Gu family can't protect you forever. I hope you can mature soon."
After saying that, Lu Chuanbai turned around and left. The servant was holding the teapot, not knowing whether to go forward or not.
Gu Anrou wanted to chase after Lu Chuanbai, but he walked so fast that he didn't give her a chance. She stamped her foot angrily on the spot.
On the other hand, some people on the Internet started to expose that many of the antiques sold by the Gu Group were of unknown origin. Rumors said that the Gu family had returned to their old business and were still involved in tomb - robbing.
As soon as this incident about the Gu family was exposed, all kinds of news about the Gu family started to frequently make it onto the hot searches. Some said that the Gu family had been exploiting their employees for a long time, while others said that the senior management of the Gu Group had taken advantage of female employees.
All kinds of negative news frequently made it onto the hot searches, which made Father Gu extremely worried.
It was at this time that Gu Anrou came to the Gu Group, wanting to discuss the next auction item with her father.
As soon as she walked in, she was about to hold her father's arm and act coquettishly.
"Dad, this time a friend of mine has brought a batch of good goods. If we help him auction them, we can get a handsome commission."
Father Gu shook her off.
"Shut up. Don't you see what time it is? The Gu Group has been attacked so badly on the Internet, and you still have the mind to help your so - called friend sell things?"
"You're the only daughter of the Gu family. In the past, I spoiled you so much that you never had to worry about business matters. But you shouldn't trouble me with such things when the Gu family is in such a mess!"
Gu Anrou was shaken off and just stared blankly at her father. Her eyes instantly turned red.
"Dad, why are you treating me like this? I just wanted you to help sell some things. Even if my friend's goods aren't sold by our family, they'll be sold somewhere else. I just wanted you to earn more money."
Seeing that Gu Anrou was still acting wronged, Father Gu got even angrier.
He directly showed Gu Anrou some comments about the Gu Group on the computer.
